“For most of our Extra Care Housing estates we have agreements with the local authority to let a percentage of our vacant properties to people nominated by them.

The estate also offers a wide range of on-site facilities which include a residents’ lounge, hair salon and guest room. Midday meals can be enjoyed in the on-site restaurant, which has a choice of dishes.

Located near green open space on Maldon Road, the properties are very handy for local shops and the town centre. The on-site manager takes care of upkeep of the building/grounds and can offer advice on how to access further support. Frequent social events and trips out add to the friendly and inclusive environment of Helen Court”
